My heart broke when I came to AZ Mills yesterday for the first time in a year. I walked in and realized the Virgin Megastore was shut down, and replaced with my worse nightmare... That's right, Forever 21. How did this happen? One of the last great places to find amazing DVDs and CDs for cheap? What is going on in the World. Forever 21 is the bane of my shopping existence. Poorly made clothing that falls apart after two washes, and their store layouts are always confusing and overwhelming. So sad. I will miss you Virgin!
However, I will keep coming back to AZ Mills for one thing. Black Minerals Market. Just walking around in there for ten minutes puts me in a better mood. -

Ghetto. Dirty.
Bathrooms are disgusting.
Parking lots sucks, spots are small.
Set up is terrible!!
Never heard more crying and screaming kids in my life at one mall. Come on people, if your kids are tired and cranky, do your kids a favor (and those of us who have to listen to them while we attempt to shop) and take them home for naps. -

This is not the place to go if you are in a rush. If you want to be in and out, do NOT got in. If you want to walk fast, it's impossible.
But if you're looking for a slow jaunt and don't mind people stopping right in front of you, this is the place for you.
Some decent food places, the usual, plus Nathan's Hot Dogs. Rain Forrest Cafe can be fun too, but that's a whole different review. -

I am going to say this is not my favorite place , but it is still a place that i like to go to on a limted basis. They do have a lot of good shops here. with a huge selection. Afew fun shops. I do not like to go there when it is busy though. It drives me mad. Morning time is good or a weekday maybe. they movie theater here is quite good with the big screen. Lots of parking. Close to my house. Yay!!

Traffic is usually gridlocked around the entire AZ Mills complex. The stores open too late to be useful from April-October due to the AZ heat, but on the plus side, the interior is air conditioned. I only brave the gridlock a few times per year now even though I live about 3 miles away.
I used to visit the JC Pennys Outlet several times per week when it was on Baseline and Rural, but again only visit a few times per year now that they are in the AZ Mills.Listed in: Tour of Tempe, Let's go SHOPPING!

In all honesty this place is not too bad at all. The trick is to go in the morning. It opens at 10:00am . Even on the weekend ,if you get there early you can get some shopping and other things done without a lot of children all around. It is a great place to do some power walking when it it 100 plus degrees outside. I have been to the Ontario Mills Mall many times as well and i think AZ is nicer and cleaner. There are a lot of really good shops. Off Saks 5th( one of my fav's). There is a lot for kids to do here though. So if you do have young children it is a good place to take them. Just watch them and don't let them run wild. No one likes out of control screaming kids. Lots of food options and movie theaters. I even got my brows waxed here. Plus lots of parking in the lot. All around.

AZ Mills has actually come a long way over the past few years to clean up some of the interesting 'character quirks' that had defined it since opening.
It is no longer the best place in the Valley to conduct studies on public acts of child abuse, or the mating habits of trailer thugs.
While this is a tragic loss for the social sciences, the net benefits for discount shopping have been worth it. -

The mall is fine, but there is this red head man who sells adorable dogs. That bark and walk. I bought one for my 2 yr old little girl and the damn thing didn't even last two days. I feel I was robbed :-( Before I forget Az mills your suppose to be the best mask in az. So why is your good court horrible? Picnic benches? Really cmon now. I watched a larger couple that wasn't even able to sit down because they couldn't fit:-( I felt horrible for them. You should accommodate all your customers. Go to metro center now they have a wonderful food court.

Arizona Mills? More like Arizona SMELLS!!!!! EASILY a TOP 3 Ghetto Mall in the state! The whole time your here you can't help but feel your car will get broken into or someone will rob you. Also this mall is crazy dirty! When you walk in through the movie theatre exit on the side by Dave and Busters there is some type of metal structure that has more pigeon shit on it than the pigeon ladies clothes in Home Alone. The food court sucks and there are only about 3 descent stores here. Clean this Dump up mills!

Listen if you're welling to find good buys you need to do the following:
-go on week days.
-early in the morning
-find out when the outlet stores have their big sales.
AVOID on weekends!
Their IMAX is kinda awesome!
Food court, not so much...
When its crowded...LEAVE or get run over by teens, old ladies, and mobile services sales people. -

The Arizona Mills for the most part has become a pit, on the bright side they are experiencing a Renaissance so there is still hope for them. H&M will be a new anchor shortly and Forever 21 just opened a massive store here as well. I still don't understand a Barber shop in the middle of the mall but they always have customers so I guess it works. I wished the food court had more choices, I mainly eat at Paradise Café for lunch. For those of you with kids they have a neat aquarium called Sea Life. As a matter of fact, if I had kids we would make it a day event starting off at Sea Life and then eating something at the food court, take a couple laps around the mall and then a movie and Game Works after.

As a walker, this mall gets four solid stars from me.
It opens up early on weekends and is a great place to walk. I usually get a black iced coffee from the starbucks inside to rev me up.
the movie theatre here is awesome. chances are, your movie will be playing on 2-3 different screens with lots of showtimes.
great outlet shopping options! -

I'm not sure when this place was build, but it's the same as any other Mills I've been to and I've been to Ontario Mills, Potomac Mills, Arundel Mills and they look the same. The outside needs a paint upgrade, probably fades quickly with the heat!
Overall, it's nice food court has plenty of choices and they also have a Red Ribbon as this location, probably the only difference from other Mills. -

While I lived in Charlotte, NC, Concord Mills (same company) passed the Blue Ridge Parkway as the #1 tourist attraction in the state. Arizona Mills blows that one away!
This location is bigger -- at least it seemed that way while walking it. My sister and I had a red-eye back to NC and blew the afternoon in this place. We scored so many deals in various shops that we had to stop in TJ Maxx for an extra bag (we'd only brought carry-ons). We stuffed all our shopping in that one bag to check at the airport so we could get our goodies home! -

I like shopping here because you can save a ton of $$.. Why pay fashion square prices when you can get a lot of the same items here for so much less. No, it's not nearly as beautiful or upscale, but they have been doing a lot of remolding and many new stores have just opened.

Yeeeaahhh.... if you're a tourist, please make sure you also visit other malls in AZ and don't make this your only stop.
It's an OUTLET mall, not a traditional mall. Therefore you'll find outlet stores, and most of the typical ghetto stores you'll find at outlet malls. This is an indoor outlet mall much like Ontario Mills, Sawgrass Mills, and the other "Mills" that I'm forgetting the name in Illinois.
It is centrally located in Phoenix, off the 101 and 60. And yes, there is plenty of parking -- but it's one of the top places for your car to get stolen! More car theft there than anywhere else I've read. I'd say where I park my car, but then I hope that no thief is reading this - ha! (Just park closer to the "nice" department stores.)
On the weekends -forget it! This place is packed. Jam packed with families, strollers, little kids running around aimlessly, it's annoying.
Stores that I go to: Gap, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Off Saks Fifth Avenue, and sometimes the Imax.
I still think it's ghetto though. -

Arizona Mills is a rather large mall and has a number of good outlet stores. The IMAX and movie theater are good for catching a show. The mall gets extremely crowded and it can be difficult to navigate through the mass of slow-walking mall zombies at times. The food court is one of the dull spots, as it is occupied by cafeteria-style fast food chains. However, there are some better snack shops scattered throughout the mall.

Ever wonder what our country will look like in the future when Mexico has successfully invaded our country and Hispanic Mexicans are the majority population? They will treat us white eyes like trash, bump into us without regret, and cut in front of us as if we didn't exist.
Well, there is a place you go to get that kind of futuristic treatment today. Arizona Mills. The place is in Tempe, Arizona. We were driving through Arizona to get to San Diego and my wife wanted to stop near there for the night and visit the mall. Bad decision.
This place never fired the first shot and has already won the war!
If you are ever in the area.....keep on driving! -

AZ Mills has been around for like 13 years in phoenix. It's def had its phases. When it first opened it was busy, diverse and a lot of unique stores where located there. Now its in its Hood Phase i.e. (2007-to present). It is what it is, an outlet mall that has good as deals that can save you $ own some outfits. Yes, it can be urban but that's not a bad thing to me maybe for someone else yea but I'm fine with it.
Overall-- a good place to find a fit for the night, grab some starbucks or get out of this blazing ass heat in the summer -

I've worked Arizona Mills for several years an have seen many sides to it. Before getting that job, I was hesitant to shop there because of the reputation it has as a lower class mall. But honestly, the place is clean, well-managed and always changing. Even if the targeted market is to the more frugal crowd, that just means great deals! Security is wonderful and each guard I've encountered has been friendly and helpful. The parking lots can definitely get a bit crazy, but that can be said about any busy establishment. I shop a lot on my breaks (it's a bad habit, but I can't help it) and always find something worthwhile. The Sanrio store is my favourite with all the adorable merchandise!

I remember this place from it's more grand days, when Malls were the "in" thing. Living in the wilds of rural Northern AZ at the time, my trips to the valley would often include a visit here (mostly due to its proximity to REI around the corner, relatively).
While I do make my way here occasionally, I find it is mostly to go to a movie within their IMAX theater. Outside Scottsdale and Chandler Fashion Squares this is still a decent mall. [Poor MetroCenter...]
I have never had an issue with finding a parking space and they offer Valet at their peak busy hours. On my last trip here I picked up a phone cover and some 6ga channels ("earrings"), but of course my main reason was to see a movie at the IMAX. -

I like pretty much any shopping opportunity, but this collection of outlets intermixed with a few 'regular' stores, cell-phone and lotion kiosks, was just... depressing.
With a few exceptions, a majority of the retailers seemed to sell very similar merchandise (I counted 5 shops selling baseball caps) or things that were just plain strange (a chain-mail suit!?). I suppose that would be great if you wanted one for an upcoming renaissance faire.
I am sure there were amazing deals to be had, but they simply eluded me. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind to dig through mountains of merchandise. I may return when I am feeling more 'adventurous'.
I add a star because it had A/C and my friend did find a very good deal on t-shirts. Otherwise... -

A lot of uber negativity aimed at this place. While a lot of it might be true, you can find some awesome deals at this place.
Let's see, the Nike and Reebok outlet are great places to find some heavily discounted sports apparel. The Footlocker in this mall also seems to have some pretty good deals. It has the usual kiosks, and lot of your basic shops.
This might not be Scottsdale Fashion Square (is that even a posh place anymore?) and it might not even be Chandler Fashion, but it has its own place. Good luck finding a Nike/Reebok outlet at one of those places. -

My boyfriend and I are new to the area and we came upon Arizona Mills by chance. We were really just looking for some place to have dessert because Sprinkles was closed. We wandered in and the first thing that struck me was how HUGE the whole mall and all the stores were. I liked it, though, because it was huge, but easily navigable and it's only one story. There's a good size food court and an aquarium, too! All the stores are HUGE and a lot of them are outlets with better prices than normal. Um, I remember the bathrooms smelled a little funky, but what bathrooms aren't. They were still clean and well-stocked with toilet paper, etc. I guess the people who go there aren't the most glamorous, like the people who go to Scottsdale Fashion Square, but I wouldn't mind if I can get in a good deal and all my shopping done in one place. I definitely want to go back!
Oh, p.s. - we ended up getting chocolate at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which was okay, but that's really a separate review. -

Crap mall, in a crap part of town. If you feel brave you might want to check out Neimans outlet or Off Saks for some decent deals. I always feel uncomfortable walking around this place, always a million people walking as slowly as possible with every member of their family in tow. The last time I was there I swear to god I saw 7 people climb out of a tiny ford escort like it was a clown car. Hilarious, good for people watching. That's about it.

I discovered this place about 11 years ago when we made our first trip to Phoenix. I had been to a few big outlet malls like Grapevine Mills and knew that this could be a decent place to find a bargain. Sure enough I did and I have been coming back every since.
My favorite store is by far Penney's. The quality is usually good and the prices are sometimes unbelievable. It seems that they have a large selection of just about everything from household items like bath towels and bed sheets, but they also have a large selection of clothing for the entire family.
I know that as long as I keep finding good prices and the quality stays up, I'll keep coming back. -

If your pants are completly incapable of covering your underwear, or you feel like you are a gangster you will love this mall. If you enjoy the feeling like you might get robbed, or if you feel excitement not knowing if you will come back to your car with the windows and wheels you left it with---definetly the place for you.

AZ Mills was set to be a desert oasis shopping mecca when it was built. The promised land of indoor retail outlet shoppity goodness. When it finally arrived, it was exciting and even worth the trip.
Today, it's a different story. Today, AZ Mills feels like a turf war zone. I can't tell you how many times I've been walking around and seen someone swaggering in front of me with his oversized pants hanging down below his ass, swimming in an XXXL tee, with a handgun tucked into the back waistband of his tighty-whites. I'm not kidding - I've literally seen people walking around carrying guns under their clothes here.
I haven't heard of a shooting taking place at AZ Mills though - perhaps it's a DMZ. Maybe there was a peace conference and they drew up a cease fire agreement. Either way - the place is kinda overrun during the day and evening with old-school gangsta goodness - the likes of which you haven't seen since the 90s.
The other thing you'll find here are children. Somehow this mall has replaced local parks or playgrounds as the hot spot for bad parents to take their shitty kids. I'm tall and don't always know what's going on near my feet - and I've leveled more than a few tiny kids to the floor. If high-pitched sounds (like shrieking or screaming children) inflict pain on your sensitive ear drums, then you may want to avoid this place or else bring some ear plugs.
This mall is not without its merits though - it's still a wonderful place to shop for Christmas gifts. Even though it's even more of a mad-house during this time, it's a one-stop bargain shop. I've done the Fashion Square thing numerous times as well as the Chandler Mall and FIesta and PV and have come up empty. AZ Mills just works. I always go home having bought everything for everyone.
My friend Steve will only go here in the very early morning before the gangstas show up... I'm not so picky. There's always the shopping satisfaction of having found everything you could ever want while surviving the dangerous atmosphere.
This place might get one more star if they had a bullet proof vest store.Listed in: The Malls of Arizona

The Dirt Mall. Literally, figuratively, epically, cosmically dirty. Whatever other adverbs you want to throw in there, it's dirty in those ways, too. You know it, I know it, we all know it.
If your idea of heaven is a teen mom wearing hotpants chasing a snot-covered toddler while carrying a baby in a grubby onesie and simultaneously eating a churro, the Arizona Mills is your promised land. If you like being catcalled by cell phone salesmen who call you "girl" and chase you down the aisle, honey you'll be as happy as a pig in shit. And if you want to take your Arizona Mills catch of the day to a late-night movie featuring a soundtrack performed live by a two-year-old up way past her bedtime, fuck, the Mills has that, too. In IMAX form, no less.
In short: It's a fucking disaster in every possible way.
Thing is, I still fucking love it. Designer jeans marked down to $99, plus a seemingly constant extra-30%-off-sale? Thanks, Off Saks Fifth Avenue! B. Makowsky handbag at less than half the retail price? Ah, that's the Marshall's I know and love. Kenneth Cole shoes for $29.99, designer party dresses for $50 and a lovely luggage set that I get complimented on every time I travel for $150.
Seriously, if I'm wearing something with a fancy-pants designer label, it's probably either from the Mills or this crazy fucking suburban luxury outlet mall outside Austin. Either way, I can assure you I paid less than half the retail price for it.
So just relax, have a drink, and head to the Mills. Return home with your bounty. Then take a shower.
No, seriously, take a shower. That place is fucking dirty. -

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Back when it first opened Arizona Mills was fun and exciting. Not to be cliche, but for it's first year or so it really was the talk of the town when it comes to shopping malls. It was a place you could go to find great deals and stores that weren't at any other local malls. Something about the place was just fun.
Fast forward about ten years... oh lordy, what happened?! Slowly but surely this mall has taken a nose dive. To put it bluntly, this mall has transformed into nothing more than a gang hang out. Almost all of the stores that made this place interesting at one point in time have closed and been replaced with an alarming number of urban clothing stores. The few decent stores that are left seem to be closing or on their way out in some way... it all just has this very 'bargain bin' type of feel now.
This place is officially in the process of biting the dust in my opinion. Even if they open up new stores or try to revitalize it, it's just not fun going to a mall where you barely even feel safe. Sad to say... but you've lost your edge AZ Mills. 2/5. -

Amber W's review reminded me of a story: When we were teenagers, my family decided to go to Arizona Mills during the holidays. My sister was sick and darted to the bathroom to throw up. There was a line filled with panicked holiday shoppers. She ran up to the first woman in line, said "I'm about to throw up, please let me cut." The woman refused seconds before the sibling lost all ability to control herself and vomited on herself and the old bat's shoes.
Ew.
I can't even think of the mall without cringing for many reasons. It encompasses the above story as well as many other issues highlighted by the other reviews. I'd rather go to Christown. -

I got my running shoes on.
I got my cup of coffee to keep me energize and alert.
I got plenty of room in my credit cards for some hopeful major purchase.
Oh yeah, I'm in the mood for a good workout and decided to walk around one of Arizona's huge outlet malls.
Of all the malls/outlets I've visited, I actually like the Arizona Mills mall. The outlet is obviously much bigger than the Petaluma Outlet Mall. Much more colorful than the one in Gilroy. And despite me being here on a weekday around noon, this nicely-architect outlet is much more livelier than the Great Mall in Milpitas with more and better shops to get lost in.
In the mall, there are six different entry ways. Automatically you can tell this outlet is big and already a workout. Each entry way has a sensor of a voice-recording of a man welcoming you to the mall. Sounds creepy, huh?
The anchor businesses of the mall are Sport's Authority, Ross, Burlington, Marshall's, Sak's, Neiman Marcus, & Sears Appliance outlet.
The anchor restaurants are Johnny Rocket's, Joe's Crab, El Pollo loco and Claim Jumper. I wish I knew about Claim Jumper prior and before my breakfast beforehand.
And for your entertainment, there are an arcade center and AMC theaters with also IMAX-screening
There are a ton of retail businesses from this mall. And some of the places I've saw and shopped are Border's Discount, Sanrio, Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Oakley, Vans, Crocs, Samsonite, Aeropostale, Animal Kingdom, Levi's, Pink, Radio Shack, Charlotte Russe, F21, Eddie Bauer, Guess, Bebe, Disney Store, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria Secret, Spencer's, Izod, Sunglasses Hut, Reebok and Nike Outlet Store (obviously, I went and shopped here). That is only a fraction of the mall I saw and shopped. Guess, I'm getting old and can't walk around outlet as big as here no more.
But wait there is the food court with a Sbarro, Starbucks, Paradise Bakery, Nathan's Hot Dog, BK, Panda Express, Hana Grill, and Subway. And for a cool treat to beat the desert heat, there is also a Yo-Yo's Frozen Yogurt place (I'll review later).
There isn't too many things to do in Arizona, but there are plenty of shops in the Arizona Mills Mall & OutletListed in: A man from San Francisco left…

So, I have this habit of taking all of my slacks and suits to the cleaners at once and it has never ever came back to bite me in the ass. That was until I found out this past Friday night that I would have to be present for an important meeting the following day and of course I would need to be dressed accordingly as usual. Damn.
It's 8 PM on a Friday evening and I must get a pair of slacks as quickly as possible. I had heard of Burlington Coat Factory carrying KC, RL amongst a few others so I figured I'd give it a try seeing as though I simply needed a basic black slack. The store locator directs me to Arizona Mills Mall as it has the closest Burlington Coat Factory to Chandler, so off I go.
Before I even get inside of the damn store I notice some idiot in a lime green thugmobile actually following me around the parking lot. I'm not talking about the two of us turning down the same aisle either...I am talking about deliberately driving in circles and hitting the same aisle three times only to see this guy's grille in my rearview the entire time. You know, some real Simon Sez kind of bullshit. He had followed me all of the way from Baseline & I-10 to the mall's parking lot only to continue following me, so of course, I am immediately thinking "Okay, what is this sorry bastard thinking of carjacking me or something?"
After finally reaching the point to where I was really concerned and about losing my patience I decide to abruptly park in the middle of the lot surrounded by no one. I sat ready and willing to surprise the shit out of this foolish bastard when he finally decides to go and park up in front of the store near the other cars. He gets out and sees me looking directly at him and clearly judging by his body language he is aware that he has been detected and is being watched.
I watch him go into the mall and purposely walk over past his thugmobile to check his plates. I actually enjoyed this part. Little did I know this would be the high point of my shopping experience at this place. I go inside and see the store packed with people that I want no where near me and a staff and store layout that is clearly oriented towards theft prevention.
And to think I called myself avoiding the hustle and bustle by not going to Chandler Fashion Mall. In hindsight, clearly I would have been much less annoyed had I just taken my happy ass to Chandler Fashion Mall as the congestion there is much more tolerable than what lied ahead at Arizona Mills Mall.
Anyway, I got the damn slacks and got the hell out, but if I could describe Arizona Mills Mall in two words they would be: "Umm, no." -

It's a good place for bargains, because some stores like Nike, Bath and Body Works, JC Penny, Gap, Neiman Marcus, Kay jewelers, and a few others have their outlet stores here. Don't compare it with Chandler Fashion center or Scottsdale! No one comes here for the "shopping experience", they come here to get the most bang for their buck. I recently got a bunch of products from Bath and Body works, all priced between $3 and $5, some really decent running shoes from Nike for much less than $50, t-shirts from Gap for about $8, and some other clothing items. Like most malls, they have a big food court, with the usual fast food restaurants. And on my last visit I saw a sign saying Forever 21 will be opening a store here. See, AZ Mills is not all that bad!
